About Wiego
Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO) is a global network focused on empowering the working poor, especially women, in the informal economy to secure their livelihoods. We believe that all workers should have equal economic opportunities, rights, protection and voice. WIEGO promotes change by improving statistics and expanding knowledge on the informal economy, building networks and capacity among informal worker organizations and, jointly with the networks and organizations, influencing local, national and international policies.
About the Informal economy
The informal economy includes workers who do not have employment-based social protection and enterprises which are not incorporated or registered.
Global estimates on the size of informal employment (ILO 2018) show 61% of all workers worldwide are informally employed.
